On mine I have one HW Alt config setup to send just the console noises to the headphone jack to which I have a pair of an inexpensive powered PC speakers connected via a Y adapter. Thus console noises emanate from the console. I have another Alt Confg where the headphone jack is as intended (quick manual swap) for late night practice.
The only minor gripe I have with the Ultralight series is the soft switch (integrated into the Volume knob) in order to turn the unit on. I have my multi channel HW rig setup on two switches to start and stop but I have to turn the MOTU on separately so its actually 3 switches to start.

The 24 Ao is configured as an audio interface.
